A Bittersweet Father’s Day…
Dad, Happy First Heavenly Father’s Day. Unfortunately, we are experiencing a difficult time today and we are still grieving differently. Therefore; We honor your memory with love and gratitude. I recall the playful water fight on a happy summer day and striving to live life to the fullest... just as you taught us. This vintage photo is one of my favorite moments with you. That was a very happy summer. I still cherish it. I miss you and I love you.
That day, (July 1993) we had a summer/BBQ party and we had a big water balloon fight with friends. We ran out of water balloons. Dad kept the water fight rolling by using his water hose. He watered me down and I was soaked. Dad was a big-time winner. Good old times.
Father's Day can be bittersweet for those of us without fathers, a reminder of the good times and all the times you'll never again share. Happy Father's Day from California

Wish I could visit my Dad in Heaven.
It has been ten months. It still hurts as ****... I have to deal with it.
Nature is still healing and rejuvenating my mind, body, and soul.

You'll meet him there eventually, your job right now is to gather stories to tell him when you get there.

My girl was 6 when I started here in 2007. Now she is 23. Good Lord

Car vs Motorcycle

Car stalled in the side of the road and someone pulled out in front of me as they were turning left. I had zero time to react. Last thing I remember was grabbing every brake I had and thinking "it's gonna be bad, just not sure how bad" then the next thing I remember is waking up in the hospital.
They estimate i was going 35-45mph, which makes sense, it was a 45mph zone.

All scans came back good. I definitely had a pretty bad concussion. Knee is fubar, not sure the extent, I'll get an MRI in the next couple of weeks unless by some miracle it just starts getting much better(highly doubting that, I have some experience with knee injuries and this one ain't good)

As bad as it was, I was wearing my helmet and I'm alive and whole. Yes my knee is not great, my shoulder still hurts and my ribs are painful but by this time next year if the worst that comes of it is I have a limp in my left knee that matches the one in my right knee, I'll consider it a win compared to what it could have been.

If nothing else this absolutely reinforces my already steadfast belief in helmets. Before this I would say I wore a helmet about 98% of the time with the rare exception being times when I was just riding around my neighborhood or going to my buddies house for Poker about a half mile away. That kind of shit, well that will never happen again. If im on one of my bikes and it's moving, I'll be in a helmet. This would have been so much worse without that chunk of plastic on my head. Including a better than 20% chance that I'm not here to write this today.

This happened on Dec. 28th.

Bike is totalled. This happened on my little Toyal Enfield adventure bike, not my harley and thank goodness for that. Not only would totalling my harley crush me emotionally. The added weight of the bike probably would have made the crash a lot worse.

Moral of the story, live life have fun but wear your ******* helmet so when shit does go wonky you'll at least live to ride another day.

Can't wait till I can ride again.
